A general question for everyone - I would have thought it would be quite difficult to write a complier for Ruby, in the sense that your script gets translated to machine code. Ruby is very late-binding and weakly typed so you can't predict what is going to be going on at run time. I see some ostensible Ruby compilers on web searches but are they genuine? Would they do anything for execution speed? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
